There is some interesting news over at Gamesindustry.biz – it looks like the PSP is going to get some love from Sony. The bastard child portable still doesn’t have a good game library but it appears Sony is going to make up for that by releasing some peripherals. I wish they would release some games that I actually wanted to play. It also appears Sony is going to take care of the game library problem by making it possible to download Playstation (PS1) games directly to your memory stick/Datel 4 gig hard drive. It’s an interesting solution – going retro… We’ll see how it works out.

I did something incredibly out of character last week… I bought a PSP game! That’s right I’ve had my PSP since launch and just bought my first game! And that game is – "Hot Shots Golf: Open Tee". I bought it off Ebay because for some reason it’s still selling at Gamestop for $29.99 – for a USED copy!

Why did I wait so long to buy a game? Well, to tell you the truth I haven’t used my PSP quite as much as I should and when I do – it has only been for homebrew. I have tried out some of the PSP games; Lumines for example is a great game – just not really one I wanted to purchase. I will probably be keeping a closer eye on Ebay however, now that MPH is making so much progress with his UMD loader, so I won’t have to upgrade my firmware.

Hot Shots Quick Review:

It’s a great little game. The graphics are tight and the play is fun. I love being able to exit and save the game between holes – excellent feature! If you have a PSP, you should really pick this gem up.
